<p>Methods of thymic vaccination are described, in which a polypeptide of interest is administered and which allows positive or negative selection of a T cell receptor (TCR) specificity in the thymus, to retain a desired specificity (positive) or to eliminate an undesired specificity (negative) at the level of TCR repertoire development, in order to generate TCRs which are designed to recognize disease antigens or foreign antigens, such as to treat or prevent cancers, autoimmune diseases, infections, or effects of biological warfare agents.</p> |
